usb do nothing but only charging :( - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys..
my (rooted GS2 running on stock 2.3.5) do nothing but charging when connected to usb cable
1-tried many cables
2-usb debugging on/off
3-*#7428# method
4-turning on,off ,removing SD card
5-tried different usb ports,different pc, laptops
all don't work (
SOS please..i can't connect the phone to pc ,only by wifi maybe but i wanna use my usb for God's sake ?!
FYI ...I found many people suffering from same issue without answer..help me..help them ..thx

Try different USB ports; use a mainboard (powered) port on the PC/laptop itself, and don't use a hub, not even if it's powered. Also try uninstalling Kies, rebooting, re-downloading it, reinstalling it & rebooting again. You need the drivers, might be a problem around those.

go to some friends with Windows 7 with network access, plug in your phone and see if it recognised by Windows and Windows attempt to install drivers.

I found this at work, i was plugging my phone into a monitor usb which is not directly into the desktop, i found i had to plug it into the pc itself. I believe it to be the power/speed of the port

yeah I've had the same problem, my pc doesn't detect the fact that I've plugged my phone in on any port, front or back and my phone doesn't detect that it's been plugged in, but it still charges, I'm currently using Resurrection Remix 2.4 on the latest Siyah
TIA

Need help pleae

Ok boys and girls, my pc had a short in the power supply. Now I get the, the usb device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it message. Tried on 3 different computers. And yes I do have the correct drivers installed. I wish it was that simple. I didn't know if there is a trick. the phone still charges from the computer,in fact I can still open the phones drives on the pc. The one thing I can't do is Odin. After calling support and having them send me the drivers based on my serial number, im certain I have the correct drivers. At this point I've been on Miui and Ics passion for 2 months. I can only flash back and forth nothing else will take. I will be grateful for any input, thank you
I even tried mobile Odin, it just says device not supported I assume it has something to do with it being 2.3.7 unsure.
I do not see how a short in the PSU would cause your problem. Maybe a bad USB port on your PC (eg. USB positive & negative backwards will kill a USB device plugged into it), but if the phone is charging while plugged into the PC USB and Odin isn't recognizing it, then try uninstalling Odin as well as the drivers and starting from a clean slate.

If the phone SD card can be mounted, it sounds like the hardware is ok. You could always try an sdb connection, or Heimdall from a Linux box.

New S2 can not connect to PC

I just received a replacement S2 from AT&T, my old S2's USB port went out. I am wanting to root through Odin and get CM9 back on but I can not get my phone to connect to my PC. I have tried on my main PC Windows 7 64 bit and my laptop Windows XP. The phone is running 2.3.6 KK6. When I connect it I see MTP Initialization followed by MTP Connected on my phone, but nothing on my computer. When connecting in Mass storage mode by either enabling usb debugging or through settings -> wirelss -> USB Utilities the phone will just beep when connecting. I've tried the following to fix:
- Installed Kies, Reinstalled Kies
- Installed just the Samsung USB driver
- *#7284# on my phone and made sure PDA was selected under USB. Even switched to Modem then back to PDA.
- Tried removing my MicroSD card
- Multiple reboots
- Tried 2 different cables
- Tried different USB ports
Any other ideas on how to fix?

First thing I would try is to completely uninstall the usb drivers in Windows, and then reinstall the usb drivers from this thread.
Well...I fixed my issue and want to headbutt a kitten as well. Turned out that I wasn't using a MicroUSB cable that was able to do Data as well as charge. Guess all MicroUSB cables are not created equally. I had 3 that I tried and they would just charge the device. I talked to Samsung and they asked if I was using my "Official" Samsung cable. I thought I was, turns out I wasn't. I went to Walmart and got a cable certified for Data and all is good in the world. Connected to my PC instantly.
So if you are having issues, check to make sure you are using your Samsung cable or one that is certified for data.

[Q] samsung S2 no more recognised as usb storage

Hi all,
Recently after flashing my S2 with aokp rom , i have no more acces to my phone as usb storage, it charges only and moreover i can no more have access to odin (it shows driver not found). I tried differenent solution like :
1- change cable (th same cable is ok for samsung mini)
2- hard reset
3-reinstalling drivers with kies and samsung drivers
4- going to drivers et uninstalling them (the pc dont show nothing at all like my phone its not plugged)
Somtimes it worked like 2 on 10 attempts but after 2 days no more
Also i noticed somthing in download mode it shows that i cant recognise the device, a bootloader problem maybe(correct me if i am wrong)
Thanks if you have already a problem like that , i googlied the problem but no one have a solution hhhhh
rethanks all
Try to check the advance settings in settings>storage

Download mode should work regardless off your rom type.
Try different USB port, or try different computer
U really should try to clean the Micro USB port in first place, i read a lot of cases that phone was not recognized or it just didnt appear to connect to computer just because the port was oxyded... after cleaning (maybe with a very little screw and cotton) try to connect, if it dont, try on another computer, if it still happens its a problem on ur phone, then u will need to flash something, but lets wait till u test all this first ! keep us informed !
Dont forget to try to borrow a usb cable from a friend ! Doenst matter if urs works on another phone...
Hi thanks , for testing another computer i have three at home , same problem.
For cleaning usb port , it is not dangerous?? do you know is there a clean way to do it.
PS: i ll try tonight cleaning it a little:fingers-crossed:
Unfortunately i have the EXACT same problem.. tried everything "changing storage, re installing drivers, cleaning the usb port, trying different pcs and cables". Nothing works :S .. it also works at random times and then stops. Really annoying.
Well i clenaed the usb port with a needle and cotton but no detection, but i noticed that if my phone is off he is detected as unkown device
@HiNd0rZ: did you noticed the same thing
Well maybe it's not a hardware problem, i found that bootloader is related to driver usb detection, a bootloader problem maybe (correct me if i am wrong ) hhh
I have the exact same problem, the only difference is my sgs is still not rooted or flashed,
the last thing I did is update from gb to ics
what I has tried is hard reset, clean the usb port and try with another pc (2 notebook, 1 pc) and with 3 different cable
still not recognized....
No it's starting to bother me , after i full charge it acts like it charges but it's not plugged i think my usb port is caput , i'll try to take it to someone no guaratantee to send it back
Well finally i changed the usb flex cable and it worked but be carefull at testing the phone when you send it to repair the usb flex cable have also the micro so ba aware at testing the phone
Thanks for all and good luck for others

problems with jb stock rom galaxy s 2

I put a stock sammobile I9100 xwlse 4.1.2 jelly bean rom on my Galaxy s2 worked fine for 2 days now I have problems charging the phone saying after half an hour its charged when its not also windows 7 will not reconise the device anymore tried factory reset still no joy even when I unplug the charger or plug it in its go's slower to start charging or stop chargeing its annouying the hell out of me tried on windows to uninstall the drivers and reintsall to no avail any ideas
Ok first of all, punctuation - use it.
About the battery problem, it seems like it's out of "sync", you should let it from exactly 0 to exactly 100. That should fix it.
About the not recognizing, have you tried different USB port on the PC? Tried on another PC? Tried with another phone? Tried with a different USB cable?
You have many options, now go try them.

I am having a similar issue, when I plug my phone into a windows PC through USB the MTP driver is buggy, have to reconnect and change to media device a few times until it installs, and then the issue afterwards will be the phone will seem as if it is being plugged and unplugged multiple times after its been disconnected (usually when I have media player running too) ... this issue was non-existant before the software update so I'm sure its gotta be an issue.
comas & latest kies.

The thing is that it doesn't make any sense
You are not rooted are you?
Your usb flex must be dusty/busted.
Nope not rooted tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling even tried Keis not a thing I get error code 43 on my pc even though the drivers are there it says usb device not reconised so for some reason which is doing my head in I cannot get it to connect with my pc on windows 7 also tried it on another computer with XP on and get the same problem tried driffrent usb ports and usb leads as well
Error 43 is a start.
Disable the antivirus and don't install the drivers, install kies.
Try a laptop.

[Q] i9100 detected by ODIN, but will not even charge from a USB when plugged in

Hi guys,
Its a bit confusing but I'll try to keep it as short as possible. It seems basically that I can charge fine in recovery and download but not in the ROM. Syncing doesn't work at all except download..
I have an i9100m. Ran NeatROM and RootBOX and dabbled with a few roms.
Now I'm not sure if it was the roms or wear and tear but I had ASSUMED until today that my USB port was messed. It would not even charge from a PC nevertheless mount as a mass storage on my PC. It can charge fine from an AC adapter.
Anyway, today I randomly decided to put my phone into download mode and what do you know, the phone detects, and I even see it in ODIN, so I guess my USB port is not messed afterall. Perhaps something with the ROMs and kernels that messed it up?
I think this was around the same time when my Triangle went away.... (I never removed it). In download mode now, it says:
Custom binary Download: NO
Current Binary: SAMSUNG Official
I'm rooted and not stock at all so I wonder if that's the cause?
I was thinking of downloading a stock TAR of my carrier and flashing through ODIN. Do you guys think this is sufficient to "Reset" it back to how it was all the way before? And then I'll root and go back to one of my trusted roms (and not mess around)
Thanks
Do you use the original USB cable to connect your phone? That could be an issue.
Anyways, I don't think that something is messed up software-side if you tried several ROMs.
Worst case is that the USB port of your phone is damaged =/
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes I am using the original cable. (all same result but obviously wanted to use the original just in case)
I was thinking the USB port was damaged too because after reading, I guess apparently I accidentally created a usb jig? (triangle went away + stats wiped...)
But that aside, if my USB port is damaged, how come when I'm in download mode, PC and ODIN detect a device is connected and it charges, whereas within the ROM, I get neither ???
Just an update guys,
I used ODIN to flash completely back to stock... and I still cannot charge from PC. Basically computer doesn't see the phone at all. So it has to be a damaged port.. unless theres something else other than the internal SD that I can wipe????? I wanted to wipe everything..
Still really puzzles me though... that ODIN can see it in Download Mode.
One of the mysteries I guess.
Did you try to clean your mini usb port on the mobile? It could help.

So....your phone only charges on DL Mode?????

I have tried to blow some air in there.. any other suggestions?
Well, the computer only recognizes the device in download mode, Windows sees the device, otherwise it doesn't.Just strange that I was able to flash an entire stock image through ODIN but in the ROM can't even get the computer to recognize that ANYTHING is plugged in (or the phone to charge so the phone doesn't see anything either)
And again, whats even more strange is that i had that one cheap extendable USB cable that probably messed everything up (it removed my triangle..so I accidentally somehow created a jig?) is able to CHARGE the phone even in ROM but still the computer can't see it as a device. LOL
This is so messed. I guess my main thing is even if I go ahead to replace the USB port (get it repaired), do you guys still think this problem would occur... =\

I currently have the exact same problem, except for the flaky usb cable removing your triangle. Mine is still there.
I brought my S2 to a repair shop because i was sure it was my USB port, but the guy there told me it connected in download mode just fine so the USB port should be fine.
Here is what I tried so far
- cleaned USB port
- Used diferent cables
- Used different PC's
- Used different kernals
- Used different roms
- Re-formated/cleared/wiped everything I could find.
Did anyone find a solution? Should I still have my USB port replaced?
